Unfortunately, gambling doesn't pay faster if that's what your friend thinks. Many people who have been gambling for a long they haven't made back half of the money they have lost since they started gambling.
I don’t know why people do think there is something they can do which is going to give them quick money. If you are the kind of person looking for quick money, you might not make the money, instead you going to end up losing everything which you are having with you. In life we shouldn’t be so desperate to make money, and I will say either trading or gambling can’t give you quick money.
If you are gambling, you shouldn’t always have the mindset of making money from it, because that’s what makes some people to get addicted to gambling, they are always having hope that they going to win even when they are losing, which they will end up losing everything which they have with them.
Trading is not s easy activity, and you can’t make quick money from trading also, you will have to take your time to learn how to trade, and even after you understand trading, you shouldn’t expect instant profits, you going to be making money gradually, and you should always expect loss to set in sometimes.
